I have recently graduated from a CELTA course and I'm eager to apply my skills and knowledge. I have been given a good teaching practice and can use different resources. I mainly specialise in teaching English as a secod language for young people and adults.
We will focus on building good vocabulary, understand grammar and use punctuation correctly.
My goal is to help students improve their English as I personally understand the importance of it. I assign homework on a regular basis and provide periodic progress reports.

For KS3 or 11 plus preparation, my lessons will be centred around key skills: imaginative writing, reading comprehension, building vocabulary and SPaG. I have experience teaching GCSE English Literature and Language with Edexcel, AQA, OCR exam boards. In these sessions, I can cover all exam skills through scaffolded and differentiated resources, past papers and model answers. At A-level, I have taught AQA English Literature A, Literature B and Language A specs. In sessions, I can provide model essays, past papers and literary theories to develop academic writing and analysis. Marking and feedback can be provided. I adapt my teaching methods to suit each individual, ensuring regular assessment and high-quality feedback to push each student. I have high expectations for all of my students and strive to create a safe, creative and engaging environment.

I am a bubbly, passionate tutor with 20+ years SEND and gifted-and-talented experience. I have a 98% success rate in coaching students to a 2-4 grade increase and I have 2 main techniques/methods that I’ve developed myself which have ‘systemised’ answers for students, giving them a structure template that's easy to follow and apply. I believe that’s what helps channel more specific and concise answers, find WHAT to write, and ultimately answer the question accurately.

Science is the systematic study of the natural world through observation and experimentation. It encompasses various fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences, each focusing on different aspects of the universe. Science aims to understand how things work, discover new phenomena, and apply this knowledge to develop new technologies and solve problems. The scientific method, involving hypothesis formulation, experimentation, and analysis, is fundamental to advancing scientific knowledge.
